I must look a mess I must admit

          but I have been pretending quite a bit.

Never let them see you sweat I’m told

         all these masks are just so hard to hold.

There must be a place to lay  these weapons down

       put out the pretty China and paint the town.

A lady must always look her best

      and I just don’t think I can pass the test.

So I built a bonfire and burned up all the rules

     castles built on sand is for the fool.
